this program effects Where's my droid...since the screen is on, the phone is figuring that you are at the phone so the ringer does not activate...any way to fix this besides delaying the notification?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
You should probably contact them about that.

Hi guys, my problem is only missed calls, noled doesn't show any notification with widget locker.

I can't find any good solution, except disable easywake and check Retain System Keyguard.

Any idea?

I'm on P500 and CM7.

PS: sorry for my english
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
known bug. I'm working on it :) I still haven't had enough time to see if I can fix it though.
[Android Apps and Games] Sliverpfa:
ok thank you :)

Amazing aplication.

I think a great thing will be a support for a new messenger by facebook.

Thanks.

this app is working grking great on my g2x only thing that isnt working is when i get a text msg on handcent.. i have checked the delay option for handcent but still no go.. any ideas what to do?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] eatonjb:
I think it does, you need to go to

NoLED Settings app ->

Toggle notifications ->

Monitored Apps ->

select the fb app.

Audio reminder

Is there a counter under audio reminder? say if you want it to audio 5 times then stop but icon still stays on screen
[Android Apps and Games] Gowtham34:
thanks.. good work..
[Android Apps and Games] xmarciN0ox:
i will try that, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I don't really have any idea. did you check the FAQ ? I think Handcent released an update that broke compatibility with NoLED, you might want to check out their options to see if you can turn some of the new features that they added off. (one of the new features i think is to disable all other sms apps).

Beyond that, I have no idea what can help.

NoLED does not support that.
[Android Apps and Games] blueseeker:
Great app!

I have a suggestion if you don't mind :)

Since SGSII has a LED Flash built-in, do you think that it would be possible that beside the already integrated alerts (screen, sound and vibration) to add a short LED flash as an option ? This would be useful when the phone is with the screen down.

I had a LED/vibration combo on my old SE K750 and it worked great.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kadarrius:
suggestion!:)

an awsome app! i would realy love for the dot to blink in the top left corner in one spot! to realy simulate a physical led! rather then the moving icons all over the screen.

NoLED WORKING ON LG OPTIMUS BLACK (P970)

I have tried the NoLED application also on LG Optimus Black (P970) and it works fine!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORT!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Interesting idea but wouldn't that terminate your battery in record times ?

Don't select any item under Icons and then use the Blink feature. You should get pretty similar results to a blinking LED ;)
[Android Apps and Games] brahmy:
NoLED is probably the most useful app on my SGS Vibrant. I sent some cash your way a while back, and have recommended the app to many friends (and suggested they donate as well, if they liked it!).

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:

Try to unplug and replug your charger, then power the screen off manually.

It seems like there is a bug where if the screen times out, the charging indicator won't show up.

Gmail: Email Or Monitored Apps

Hi Madmack,

Does it make a difference if I select Gmail under "Email" or "Monitored Apps"?

Which selection is better?

Thanks for this useful app.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Email allows you to customize notifications per email account and uses the default NoLED background service.

If you select Gmail under Monitored Apps then you are limited in terms of dot/icon choice and if you have no other app checked in monitored apps, then you're also running an extra background service (the accessibility service)

go with the default integration under Emails unless something is not working there.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
I have only 100% checked under there. Charging indicator is unchecked.

Proximity Sensor + Blink question, "Dismiss with Proximity Sensor" bug?

You clearly stated that Proximity Sensor + Blink cannot go together, but is there a technical reason for that? It would be most practical to save battery when the screen cannot be seen, anyway. As I have a Nexus S with SLCD, the only viable option is to use blink to save battery life, but enabling Proximity Sensor + Blink would help save battery for everyone, especially those who don't have AMOLED screens.

I have also discovered something strange: if "Dismiss with Proximity Sensor" is ticked, the screen will not go off at all if you cover the screen by your hand, etc.

(Other settings:

- blink with white background

- disable touch screen)

Nexus S with CM 7, tried several CM 7 versions.

Thanks for looking into it.
[Android Apps and Games] KennyLegend:
Hi madmack. When using widget locker and I get an sms and dismiss by pressing the bsckbutton , the screen defaults to Samsung glass lockscreen instead of widget locker screen.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
The problem with Blink and proximity sensor is that the proximity sensor implementation requires the screen to be on for it to work. Blink completely shuts your screen down mostly so it won't work nicely together.

The workaround would be to detect proximity when screen is on (i don't even know if its possible given the small time interval the screen stays on in blink) and then keep the screen on, and let the proximity sensor handle the screen off. when the screen turns back on, blink the screen again.

problem with this is i'm going to have to handle way too many flags and if cases, i'd really rather stay away from it. Blink is meant to save battery by keeping the screen off mostly, and so does the proximity sensor feature.

In dismiss with proximity, the screen is supposed to timeout eventually based on your default Android screen timeout value. I'm not shutting the screen down in code.

Are you using the workaround documented in the FAQ? I forgot the name of the exact option you had to check/uncheck but try to take that off so that the default lock screen is completely disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Having Charging Indicator checked turns on the charging indicator when it's charging all the time. I only want it to show up at 100%, but that doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] B3nnyTh3KiD:
Nice, i give it a try
[Android Apps and Games] KennyLegend:
I don't have that option in NoLed app . Found easywake mode in widgetlocker settings so that might do it.
[Android Apps and Games] O and O:
You've created a great app here, really helps me as I have a Galaxy S II so no lights here.

I've just got a few suggestions that you might find helpful.

1) As much as I like the current icons; I don't think they work well with the custom icons of other apps. It would be great if there was an option to display original icons instead.

2) It would be of major benefit to many users to know how this will impact on battery. If you can test the impact of the app running, etc and express figuratively to users how much if at all the app drains battery then that would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] turoscsusxa64:
Thanks for the answer. However, the proximity sensor on the Nexus S seems to be an infra sensor in the upper part of the screen, so I am pretty sure that it can be addressed independent of the screen. Just guessing, though.
[Android Apps and Games] KennyLegend:
Seems to have done the trick. Set widetlocker for NoLed instead and now when I get ..say..an SMS...the Go SMS icon is displayed. When I dismiss it I'm on the homescreen instead of any of the lockscreens.

Missed Calls

I cannot for the life of me get the notifications for missed calls to work on my samsung fascinate. It used to work fine, then one day...poof it stopped displaying icons for my missed calls. I've tried everything and its really making me mad. All other notifications work, so why won't missed calls???????
[Android Apps and Games] hafftrak:
Suggestion with sound notifications

I really love this app and works well through all my Galaxy series and now the Samsung Galaxy S II. I do have a suggestion that would make this app perfect for me and I'm sure with others.

A message to the developer......I am not sure if it can be done but it would be complete if the sound notifications not being limited to just one sound. It would be nice if I could have a different sound for SMS, email, missed call etc. not sure if its been brought up before if so sorry.

I receive all lot of emails and not so eager to run to my phone right away when I hear my LED notification but I do because it might be an SMS which I read as soon as possible. If they were separate and I had a different tone let's say for my SMS I would want to read that right away.

Anyway just a thought, thanks and hope to see it in a future update one day. Love the app and I recommend to all my customers as I am in the cellular industry.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
if you want the 100% option to work, both have to be checked. Having the top "charging indicator" unticked will not give you any notifications whether you're at 100% or not. Maybe the bug is in that ticking 100% doesn't limit the charging indicator to 100% only.

Thanks for your suggestions :)

1) Did you try NoLED's themes? They're on the website and one of them is the standard AOSP icons. http://www.devasque.com/noled

2) I'm not really skilled at doing this kind of analysis. If someone would contribute with details then I'll be more than happy to post their findings on the website. In my opinion though, the different sizes and technology of the screens that we have today will give very variable results.

Its not a question of physical limitation. Its an Android API limitation. The proximity lock that I hold to bring the screen off doesn't work if the screen is off.. and there is no workaround afaik.

Set widgetlocker for NoLED? can you please explain? I might add that little hint in the FAQ.

Its because your phone's software got updated to Android 2.2 (Froyo) which broke the Missed Call notification because after a missed call, your phone now doesn't switch the screen off or lock it. It just keeps the screen on and unlocked :confused: I'm not able to work around this atm and I honestly haven't seen this behavior exerted on any other device. I put an entry on the FAQ regarding that issue as well.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I'm wondering though, if SMS wasn't so important, for example, why wouldn't you just turn off the NoLED on-screen notification for it completely? That way your audio notification will only sound when the other important notifications kick in.
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Aw that sucks. Is there a way for you to add in that option in the future?

Oh shoot I didn't know there were custom themes. Time to give this a try when I get home.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
yea, i just can't seem to remember to debug this problem when my phone is at 100%. :rolleyes:

I'll look into it
[Android Apps and Games] KennyLegend:
Sure ...

In widgetlockers settings go to advanced and click "disable stock lockscreen ". It then prompts you to use easy wake mode ;)

Thanks for the themes the standard WVGA were exactly what I needed!

Hopefully someone can do some work for the SII as I really want to know if this is affecting my battery life.
[Android Apps and Games] eatonjb:
wait.. so does the screen use more power then just to light the icons?

why is it striked out.
[Android Apps and Games] O and O:
I thought the same thing earlier too, hence why I was hoping someone could do some research into battery usage.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Only one way to find out I guess :) Let us know once you try it out.

Yes. Besides the touch drivers that the screen switches on to interpret your touches, it also switches on all the pixels. With AMOLEDs though, the black pixels emit very little compared to other colored pixels so the drainage should be minimal from those black ones.

Go into a completely dark room, make noled display a single dot and watch the whole screen "glow" a little bit. Unfortunately there isn't a workaround for this as there are no APIs in Android to completely switch off unused pixels.
[Android Apps and Games] ghale:
Ok, then. I'm waiting the delivery!

I'll try and post my impressions.
[Android Apps and Games] O and O:
Is there a way to completely disable the screen for touches and only use the home.button to leave the notification display? That might work better.

I love this great apps ! But since the last version of Handcent SMS (3.9.8.5) 23/08, I have no more SMS notification. I have to check Handcent in "another applications" to make it work in a good way, but I want icon ... Before update, I had SMS icon.

[Android Apps and Games] insulae:
it is possible have an option to "start" only one icon for all notifications?

i want to know if i have a notification (phone call, sms, mail, etc) all notifications is the same for me, i dont want to have one icon per notification type, and with this meaby reduce battery consumption.

(sorry for my bad english :) )
[Android Apps and Games] O and O:
Good point, maybe a single icon with the letter "N" will be enough for many. Reduces the number of icons floating around thus saving battery and it means that we don't have to select every application we want to be notified for as it does it for them all.
[Android Apps and Games] Psilocin:
Wondering if you can add a feature that will allow it to function when the lock screen is disabled, such as when using UnlockAtHome app. I really want to use NoLED all the time, but the auto-wifi-unlock feature is just too good to give up. The app is really awesome otherwise and works fine when not using wifi.

I have the option of useing BLN and this. What do you think would use the least amount of Battery power in an hour or so?

thanks

e..b
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Not possible without a custom kernel. Google around for BLN which does that if you're rooted.

The FAQ is stated clearly in bold big red font in the very beginning of the OP. Maybe you meant another link?

HandcentSMS has problems with NoLED. Look at the FAQ for more info.

Did you try the notification timeout option under battery saving features? it should do exactly that.

I'm not really interested in implementing that feature for NoLED as I really love relying on the different icons and don't want to clutter the menu with more features. You guys can place small "dots" for the different notifications which should consume more or less the same amount of battery as a single medium icon floating about in the screen. Just make sure you disable all icons to get these dots.

Not possible man. Read the FAQ.

crash as in force closes? If so, please send the crash reporter so I can have a look at it.

I don't think its a NoLED problem per se. I haven't written any code that terminates or closes any apps. If you're talking about going to your home screen instead of the last foreground app after dismissing NoLED's notifications, then you need to use the Back key to dismiss NoLED instead of the Home key.

BLN will most definitely save you more on battery as it doesn't turn on the biggest battery hog on our devices: the screen.

Feature request: Remove NoLEDs notification when causing notifications vanishes

Hi,

I kindly ask for an enhancement: Please remove NoLEDs notification when the causing notifications vanishes.

Example: I get notifications for new emails by my mail client which is fine. But when I read the new email by a other client on a different computer the notification in the Android's notification bar vanishes, but NoLEDs' notification is still there which confusing.

Hope you find this request useful!

regards

[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
This is already the case for any email associated with Gmail and is checked by the default Gmail app and integrated Gmail support in NoLED.

I use it all the time so I know it works :)
[Android Apps and Games] spach:
I am not using gmail, I have to use a generic IMAP mail client like K9.

spach
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
There are no APIs implemented in K9 for a feature like this. Therefore its really impossible. The limitation is not from NoLED, but from Android's available APIs and these 3rd party software that I'm supporting natively.

[Android Apps and Games] MadCow27:
Thank you MadMack for your answer.

I read the FAQ before posting.

But :

- I deactivated popup in Handcent

- It worked OK before the last update of Handcent

- I delayed all notifications by 2 sec. Anyway, I tried with the "special Hancent option" : same result.

- I have the small dot when I received SMS, but no icon. As if Handcent wouldn't be the default SMS application (but I checked it is).

- I tested the 4.4.4b : same problem.

I tried to replace the Handcent icon in NoLed by a SMS one from theme (to delete the dot). But, each time my screen is blinking the number near the icon is increased by one.

Thank for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Wait, so NoLED does triggers SMS but its a dot instead of an icon?

You'll need to activate icons under the Icons submenu. If you have Handcent checked under Monitored Apps, then make sure you check Other under Icons as well.

SGS2 and Widgetlocker: Missed calls

Everything is working, except missed calls. I have an SGS2 and am running widgetlocker. I have version 4.4.3 of NoLED.

I have tried:

- delaying all notifications until after screen timeout

- enabling easy wake in widgetlocker

- reinstalling NoLED

Any suggestions on how I can get missed call indicators working?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] MadCow27:
Thank you for your help ! :)

In fact, NoLed trigger SMS, but because I checked HandCent in Monitored Apps. If not, no more notification .... Of course if I check "other icons" it works --> instead of the dot I have the HandCent icon. But I hate the HandCent icon : I want the beautiful NoLed icon back :D That's why I tried to change the icon in configuration, but I have the "increase number" bug on icon each time my screen's blinking (see my last message).

I think NoLed does not trigger anymore Handcent (remember : with the same parameters before HandCent's update it was fine) as default SMS application. I think it is because a modification in HandCent (I double check its configuration : HandCent is the default SMS application on my phone --> setting in HandCent AND in Android).

I will try your 4.5 version.

Edit : same problem in 4.5 version (including the "increase number" bug each time my screen's blinking).
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
WidgetLocker does have compatibility issues with NoLED.

It does not trigger its APIs in time for NoLED to correctly detect missed calls. I'm honestly against support of 3rd party applications but I kind of made an exception for WL (and well.. K9). I'm thinking of completely abandoning support for WidgetLocker and require the more reliable Android default lock screens instead. Support for these 3rd party apps are hard to make them reliable. Specially when it requires the collaboration of both devs from the two apps to work closely together and to keep each others updated with any change or issue that might arise with newer versions.. etc, something I find difficult to maintain.

Sorry man, I can't help you with the missed call issue beyond what is listed in the FAQ and I'm not willing to invest the time to make it happen at this time.

So if you have Handcent checked in Monitored Apps, the app count increases with every refresh rate (read: every 3 seconds by default) ?

I know that Handcent introduced a "feature" where they take exclusive rights to incoming SMS messages. You'll need to disable that option for NoLED to detect SMS messages correctly via the default SMS check under Toggle Notifications. The exact option's name is listed in the FAQ.
[Android Apps and Games] O and O:
You're actually right, I think I misunderstood the wording on the tickbox to mean that my notifications were cleared from the bar/system which would be bad as I'd never know if I got a missed call, etc. However after using it on a 15 min timeout this doesn't seem to be the case.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Awesome :)

NoLED doesn't have permissions to delete status bar notifications. All notification "dismissal" is in reference to the NoLED icons only.
